Due to professional wrestling being such a high risk sport it’s very difficult to find a company to give an insurance professional wrestlers. Asistencia Asesoría y Administración joins the network of free medical services for the Federal District in supporting both the fighter and their families.

This Friday at AAA offices several wrestlers gathered for such registration accompanied by their relatives. The meeting was also attended by President of the Commission of the City Wrestling, The Phantom. Some of the wrestlers who were there are La Parka, Faby Apache, Drago, Dynasty, Murder Clown, Psycho Clown, The Apache, Psicosis, Atomic Boy, Silver King, Jennifer Blake, Taya, “tufts” Salazar, Lolita, Cynthia Moreno , Phoenix, among others.

“It’s hard to find someone to give you insurance for the high impact activity we do. That is why we appreciate that insurance will give us, I was the first to arrive and therefore was the first registered. I’m glad because if it is sometimes difficult to find someone treats us, but we thank AAA and Wrestling Commission City to give ease to affiliate directly at the desk.” -Faby Apache, after being the first fighter affiliate Triple A.

It is interesting to note that Tominaga is set to face off with Kagetora again. In recent weeks, Tominaga faced off with Kagetora in the first matches or dark matches on several shows. I would not read too much.

CIMA enters into the third defense of his Every Month title defense series.

Now you may think it is weird to see Dragon Kid and HUB to team up the next night but remember they are both members of the Veteran Army.

Gamma is still injured so he is likely replaced by Kotoka in match 4.

Nice to see Uhaa Nation getting in the mix with the second match. I am interested in seeing how his knee holds.

I don’t know if any of the matches will be title title changes. If I had to put money on any of them, I would say the Triangle Gate match.

The often controversial Dr. Wagner Jr. wants to leave AAA (again.) Rather than showing up at a CMLL show that his son was on in 2010, this time he made a comment on a La WagnerMania (a lucha fan site) and says that he wants to go home (one would assume CMLL.) Wagner claims that he is being held to AAA due to his contract going into 2014. Dorian Roldan (the owner of AAA) responded by stating that while Dr. Wagner Jr. cannot leave for CMLL and will not be used until Wagner admits he is still under contract. As of right now, CMLL claims they don’t want him.

Wagner could jump to CMLL if he walks away from the deal. By walking away, Wagner will likely face a lawsuit with AAA. Though a lawsuit has not blocked wrestlers going to CMLL rather than staying out of the light like a wrestler would in America. Los Invasores faced lawsuits when they first jumped to CMLL but the issues never affected them jumping. Just the names except for Psicosis as there is the second Psicosis in CMLL and the original Psicosis took back his name and the mask after getting a fireball in the face during feud last year.

This is at least the second time Wagner has teased a jump. During the height of the CMLL Invasores angle in 2010, Wagner teased a jump to CMLL by saving his son Hijo de Dr. Wagner from an attack after his match. At the time, Wagner Jr. was the AAA champion and claimed to several reporters he was jumping to CMLL. However he ended up not departing AAA and the issue would eventually become swept up as a simple rub to his son.

As more news comes out on Wagner’s contract status, we will bring it to you.

Mad Blankey continue to attack Penguin after the match. Hulk even took scissors and cut Tomakomai’s hair.

Team Veteran Returns would make the save.

The two units would argue and set for an all out war elimination match that would end up being a 5 on 5 match as Tozawa announced that Uhaa Nation would make his first appearance in Dragon Gate after getting a major ACL injury during DGUSA Heat 2012’s triangle six-man match. Though, Team Veteran would need to team with Hollywood Stalker Ichikawa.

After this, Hulk challenged MochiFujii for the Twin Gate, They assumed it would be Mondai Ryu teaming with Hulk but it would be announced that Uhaa would be his partner.

After all of this, Tomakomai stated the he would recover from his recent losing streak first losing his name, being kicked from Mad Blankey, this match and now his hair. He also stated that for now, he will be a lone wolf not aligning with any unit.

Based on the results from the Kobe Sambo Hall event, the cards for Champion’s Gate and the March 7 Korakuen Show have been updated. The Korakuen Hall event has its full car formally announced.

After Thunder’s debut and the the title matches CMLL has some major news come out.

Over the last two weeks on CMLL’s weekly Arena Mexico shows on Friday. To qualify for the finals there were two 16-man torneo ciberneticos where the winner would advance (rather than a single torneo like the last few years where Angel de Oro won the annual tournaments in Arena Mexico in February and Virus won a one-off 12-man tournament in Arena Puebla during October.

Rather than the lightning matches, the finals were held under two out of three falls rules like typical lucha matches. In typical lucha fashion Mephisto and Mije seconded Volador and Mascara seconded Sombra. Sombra won with a double moonsault in fall 1, Volador won with a backcracker in fall 2. Sombra won the third fall with a cradle. After the match, both Volador and Sombra made mask match challenges between the two.

Elsewhere on the February 15 show, Namajague and Stuka Jr. continued their feud. In recent weeks Stuka has made mask match challenges to Namajgue. Recently Rey Cometa has entered the argument challenging Namajague’s partner Okumura challenging him to a hairs match. Finally after weeks of teasing, Namajague and Okumura accepted the challenges and will likely have a tag team mask and hairs match at CMLL’s yearly Dos Leyendas when CMLL is known for bet matches for their bigger shows.

Super Crazy is best known for his work in World Wrestling Entertainment. However he’s had success all around the world, working for companies such as CMLL, AAA, NOAH, and many more.

World famous luchador, Super Crazy, was honored by the local government of Hidalgo for his success internationally. He says that he’s had a great career but he still has lots of years left in him. Also he loves working independently because it allows him to work wherever and for whoever he wants to.

Super Crazy has received several offers from Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre and Asistencia Asesoría y Administración but has turned both companies down because being tied to a contract would severely limit his ability to work outside of Mexico. He doesn’t particularly enjoy leaving Mexico but he has to do what’s financially right for himself. Crazy also states that he’s been working on his English so he can work more regularly in the United States to go along with his steady work in Japan for companies such as Pro-Wrestling NOAH.

I wouldn’t expect to see Super Crazy in CMLL, AAA, or any major promotion around the world, on a permanent bases.
